2: from wikipedia article on Clara Bow: “In 1927, Clara made [the film] It, a vehicle for her sex-appeal. Consequently, Bow was dubbed “The It Girl” — “It” being a euphemism for sex-appeal, as defined by the British novelist Elinor Glyn. This image was enhanced by various off-screen love affairs publicized by the tabloid press.”
